I suspect, like me, you're opposed to media bias. Well that cuts both ways. If the journalist is going to refer to people favoring the option to choose abortion as "pro-abortion", then they would have to refer to those opposed to giving women the option to choose abortion as "anti-abortion". Likewise, if they are going to refer to one side as "pro-life", than they should refer to the other side as "pro-choice".

This doesn't mean Gretchen is pushing a pro-abortion position; just that she's trying to help her fellow newscasters avoid the appearance of bias. I think given Fox's "Fair and Balanced" tagline, this is an important thing for her to do.

I simply turned off my cable service...

Fox has been the best of the available networks, but I prefer to get my news from internet sources. It's easier to screen out the liberal bias.

Netflix for entertainment.

I have no problem being called "anti-abortion". I am anti-abortion. I never asked to be referred to as "pro-life". So I have no issue with the terminology used to describe my stance on it. But if we're really being fair & unbiased, then if I am to be called "pro-life", they should be referred to as "pro-death". "Pro-choice" is such a pretty little term for the murder of the innocents. To call them pro-abortion is being more than fair.
